There will be ghoulish goings-on at the Curraghs Wildlife Park on Friday 31st October when a half-term Halloween Spooktacular takes place.
 
Children in fancy dress will get free admission to the popular attraction and there will be craft activities, a spooky skeleton treasure hunt, creepy crawly talks, face-painting and lots more to do.
 
The park in Ballaugh is running the event with local charity Crossroads Care, which will benefit from the proceeds of the treasure hunt and crafts.
 
All the park’s attractions, such as the new Enchanted Wood play area, mini diggers, jumping pillow and the cafe, will be open.
 
The miniature railway, run by the Manx Steam and Model Engineering Club, will have regular departures.
 
Tina Jauncey, Duty Manager at the park, said: ‘If there are families who haven’t visited the park for some time, they might like to drop in and enjoy our usual attractions plus all the extra activities on offer between 10am and 4pm. This will be a fun-filled way to end half term.’
 
Tickets for the park can be booked online, in advance, via the website www.curraghswildlifepark.im/ or purchased at the gate. It costs ?8.50 for adults and ?5.50 for children not wearing fancy dress (?2 for children aged two and under) to enjoy the park for the entire day. Family tickets and concessions are available.
